   @Expharmagirl I read that too from previous application periods. I'm not sure. Did you upload your letters of rec?

6. CSUN ABSN

   mrmandap replied to danceluver's topic in California

   @danceluver: That's mainly it. Most of the time you can choose between two sites -- except the first semester, where you're assigned based on your last name. Everyone for sure has to go to the VA for geri. And I think everyone goes to Northridge for ...

   mrmandap replied to danceluver's topic in California

   No grants because it's a second bachelors. The best you can get is a $12,500 loan/year through FAFSA, which is part subsidized and part non-subsidized. I'm not sure if it covers summer (which I should start worrying about because I'll have to figure ...

    I've decided to start in the fall. In retrospect, I probably should have chosen summer rather than wait the extra 3 months. So excited!
